Acid's Reign is a brand new musical, queering and querying the climate discourse, exploring the stories we tell about the climate crisis and the compromises we make to tell them. Starring Drag Race UK's Scarlett Harlett alongside a cast of top cabaret performers, including Crayola the Queen, fresh from supporting Chappell Roan on her latest live tour.
Drag supergroup The Climate Queens are ready to fight for their future, with the help of a live four-piece band, but the hot-headed, cold-hearted Alex Acid has other ideas. Fuelled by desperation, greed, and a good dollop of corporate interest, will Acid reign?
And when your voice is drowned out, is it easier to just light a fuse and watch the world burn?
Expect a soundtrack that mixes original songs with jukebox favourites, including Bonnie Tyler, Childish Gambino, and classic musical theatre numbers from Cabaret, Company, and many more.
